American Teen chords by Khalid

Verse 1:
      G
Living the good life full of goodbyes
  C
My eyes are on the grey skies
    Bm          D
Saying I don't want to come home tonight
     G
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
  C
I don't even remember
     Bm                D
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride

Pre-Chorus:
         G       C
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5
        Bm
Where all the girls are pretty
       D
And they're down for the hype
         G
All my boys are with me
   C
Going up for the night
     Bm     D
But who cares, who cares
             G
'Cause this is our year

Chorus:
      C      Bm
So wake me up in the spring
      D           G
While I'm high off my American dream
G              C
We don't always say what we mean
      Bm         D
That's the lie of an American teen

Verse 2:
G
Maybe the end is near
        C
But I've been waiting all year
      Bm
To get the hell up out of here
   D
And throw away my fears
G
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
    C
Off of all the things that I've taken, and
Bm
Maybe I'm not really drunk
      D
Maybe I'm really good at faking

Pre-Chorus:
         G       C
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5

Where all the girls are pretty
       D
And they're down for the hype
         G
All my boys are with me
   C
Going up for the night
     Bm     D
But who cares, who cares
             G
'Cause this is our year
